3960X and LGA 2011 FTW!

NZXT is not as high quality of a manufacturer as CM or Corsair in my personal opinion.

I don't have a CM Storm Stryker, I have the HAF X, but I would go with the CM Storm Stryker over the other choice. I really like CM, they make good cases (the only other brand I'd go with in most instances is Corsair). Also, the Stryker comes standard with a lot of air cooling power so you won't need to do anything to have good cooling at stock settings. If you want even better cooling on a full-tower case then get mine.

Get the CM Storm Scout, I dont really advocate mid-tower cases because to me a full tower case is the only way to go, but if you're strapped for cash then the CM Storm Scout is a good choice and its only $64.99 @ amazon.com right now

What is your budget?

Get the Corsair 900D, you will get great cooling, and its a well built steel case. Its expensive however, it is worth the money. Also, its only as flashy as you make it, so if you want that Dell/HP look you can have it.

I agree with REDNINJA2012, the 900D fixes many of the issues with the 800D that people made known to Corsair. I would get the case you know has been designed with community input in mind. This will ensure that you get all the bells and whistles you are hoping for. Yes the case is going to be expensive but why put a bunch of expensive hardware in a crappy case?

Also, you can order single sleeved cables for your Corsair PSU whether you take my recommendation or get the 650w. I would get them if you have the money and want a cleaner look. I have the single sleeved red ones for my build.Additionally, if you get a PSU that is too low wattage you may have heat problems because the PSU is working so hard. Heat in your case should always be avoided as much as possible.

I disagree, you said you plan to add another 660ti in the future. If this is the case I would recommend the Corsair AX 860i. First off, I agree with you for looking at seagate or corsair when developing your choices, however, for SLI a 650w is not enough. Use this PSU calculator from ASUS "http://support.asus.com/powersupply.aspx" it will help you determine how much wattage you need. Dont go too low on your power supply. All your components need to be utilizing as much power as they request based on the load on the system. If you go too low you risk performance losses or not even booting. I wouldnt go lower than 850w for a PSU and if you can pick a particular 850w PSU then the Corsair AX 860i is the best one out. Additionally, the Corsair AX 860i is fully modular so you can do extremely nice cable management in your system. I'd imagine that if you are planning on two 660ti's you probably want to show them off, which means you need good cable management. Side note: I have the Corsair AX 1200i so I am speaking from experience with the models (obviously at a higher wattage). The AXi series PSU's are platinum efficiency, which is the best on the market. Here's some pics as proof to show you my PSU.

Yes you are fine for just one GTX 680. In the future it would be smart to include your full system specs in case you are running a bunch of HDD's, fans, etc. Also, use the ASUS PSU calculator it will tell you what PSU you need. "http://support.asus.com/powersupply.aspx"

Get the HAF X 942, or the Storm Stryker. Both are decently priced cases with good airflow.

Never skimp out on your power supply unit. Corsair is a great brand, thats who I go with. In the future, go here "http://support.asus.com/powersupply.aspx" The URL is for ASUS power supply calculator, it will give you an accurate idea of what kind of power supply you need in your system.
